Hello,

Both parties can agree to formalize the verbal agreement by drafting a written contract. This document should clearly outline all the terms and conditions of the agreement, including responsibilities, timelines, and other relevant details.

While not always required, notarizing the written contract through a UAE notary public gives it additional legal weight.

A notarized document is recognized as more authoritative, especially in legal disputes or when dealing with government authorities.

It is often beneficial to consult a legal professional specializing in UAE law to ensure the inclusion of specific clauses based on local laws and regulations.

Good Morning,

Yes, there are legal options available in the UAE for converting a verbal agreement into a written and legally binding document.

This can be done through a process known as a "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) or "Letter of Intent" (LOI).

An MOU or LOI is a written document that outlines the terms and conditions of the verbal agreement and is signed by both parties.

This document serves as evidence of the agreement and can be used in case of any disputes or misunderstandings in the future.

To convert a verbal agreement into an MOU or LOI, both parties must agree to the terms and conditions and sign the document in the presence of a witness.

The MOU is typically prepared at a lawyer's office, so you are welcome to visit our office, and we will be happy to assist you.

Best Regards,

Thank you for reaching out with your inquiry regarding formalizing a verbal agreement into a legally binding document in the UAE.

In the UAE, while verbal agreements can be legally binding, they often present challenges in enforcement due to difficulties in proving the terms agreed upon.

To ensure clarity and legal enforceability, it's advisable to document the agreement in writing. This written contract should detail all terms and conditions, and be signed by all parties involved.

Depending on the nature of the agreement, certain contracts may require notarization or registration with relevant authorities to be fully enforceable.

For instance, real estate transactions or commercial agency agreements often necessitate such formalities.

To provide you with precise guidance tailored to your specific situation, I recommend scheduling a consultation.

This will allow us to discuss the details of your agreement and ensure that all legal requirements are met.

Please feel free to contact me via WhatsApp or phone at [----------] to arrange a convenient time for our discussion.

Best regards,
